Inflammatory monocyte-derived dendritic cells exhibit a distinct phenotype with C-type lectin receptors and intracellular proteins. The interaction between infiltrating monocytes and local mesenchymal cells is crucial for the generation of Mo-DCs in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Inflammatory monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs) have been described in several chronic inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and are suspected to play a detrimental role by fueling inflammation and skewing adaptive immune responses. However, the characterization of their phenotype is still limited, as well as the comprehension of the factors that govern their differentiation. Here, we show that inflammatory Mo-DCs generated in vitro expressed a large and atypical panel of C-type lectin receptors, including isoforms of CD209 and CD206, CD303 and CD207, as well as intracellular proteins at their surfaces such as the lysosomal protein CD208. Combination of these markers allowed us to identify cells in the synovial fluid of RA patients with a close phenotype of inflammatory Mo-DCs generated in vitro. Finally, we found in coculture experiments that RA synoviocytes critically affected the phenotypic differentiation of monocytes into Mo-DCs, suggesting that the crosstalk between infiltrating monocytes and local mesenchymal cells is decisive for Mo-DCs generation.
